Tri-Mountain National Scenic Area Headquarters

Emei Lake is located at the junction of Fuxin and Huguang villages in Emei Township, Hsinchu County. The lake is actually Dapu Dam which is the first dam designed and built by the Taiwanese. It was primarily designed for irrigation and industrial uses, as well as flood control.

In 2000, the Ministry of the Interior advocated the protection order for dams, allowing the development of tourism to begin at Emei Lake. Visitors will first notice the wide lake surface and the lakeside trail. If you wish to observe the beauty of the lake from different angles, you can take a stroll on the trail. The trail is 3.5 km long and the first section of the trail is approximately 1 km long, which is ingeniously designed.

The completion of the trail was made possible by the selfless generosity of a local gentleman, Uncle Yu, Jin-Kui. A section of the trail is dedicated to him and is called "Uncle Yu's Bridge". Below the bridge is a 3D painted river, dotted with tung flowers and lotus leaves. Visitors will also discover a large green patch of water hyacinths floating on the lake.

Although it seems a beautiful sight, this exotic species is a potential threat to native species. Hence, we should endeavor to protect our natural environment. Moving forward, you will see another famous attraction at Emei Lake, the Ximaopu Suspension Bridge.

In the past, five suspension bridges spanning Emei Lake were built for the residents to get around.

However, the Ximaopu Suspension Bridge is the only remaining bridge to connect Shierliao Recreational Farm and Fuxin Old Street.It can hold up to fifty people and the bridge tower is decorated with tung flowers. Visitors can enjoy the lake views from either side of the bridge.​​​​​​​
